Zach's weekend picks for Louisville: Celebrate Labor Day Weekend with WorldFest, Unconscious Collective 2 [2]

Posted On: 3 Sep 2009 - 5:04pm

By Zach Everson [3]

WorldFest
Belvedere
5th and Main Streets
Sept. 4-5, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Louisville's Belvedere gets multicultural this weekend when it hosts the city's annual international festival. [4] What better ways are there to experience another culture than eating its food [5] watching its natives dance [6], and buying their chotchkies [5]? Oh yeah--talking and listening. So put the schnitzel down for a few minutes and converse.

Unconscious Collective 2 
Derby City Espresso
331. E. Market St.
Sept. 4, 6 p.m.
While "South Park's" underpants gnomes didn't have a phase two, Unconscious Collective organizer Andy Cook does. The opening of the second installation of his group art show, part of the First Friday Trolley Hop [7], includes Louisville artists who exhibited at May's inaugural as well as some new contributors. There'll be live music from Jaimee Duvall, Bro. Stephen and Gnuma starting at 9 p.m. and Derby City Espresso [8]'s usual delicious beers and espresso will be available throughout the evening. The exhibit runs through Sept. 30. Louisville.com will publish an interview with Cook tomorrow [9].

Frazier Museum's Founder's Day Street Party
Frazier Museum
829 W. Main St.
Sept. 5, 10 a.m. 4 p.m.
The 100,000 square-foot museum that covers more than 1,000 years of international history is celebrating its fifth anniversary [10] with a free family-friendly street carnival. Among the attractions there'll be food, games and inflatables (the website doesn't specify exactly what is going to be inflated). There'll also be a raffle for prizes, including a Crosley full-size iJuke Deluxe Jukebox and a Horseshoe Casino weekend getaway.

Kentucky Bluegrass Music Festival
The Water Tower
3005 River Road
Sept. 5-6, 5-11 p.m.
Eight bluegrass bands will be providing the ambiance as you drink bourbon and beer at the Kentucky Bluegrass Music Festival [11]. The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft also is hosting a vendor market. Tickets are $6 before 6 p.m. and $9 afterward. Leave your food, drinks, and pets at home, but bring your lawn chairs, blankets and kids (10 and under are free). Louisville.com [12] and Woodford Reserve [13] are among the sponsors, which is kind of ironic as Louisville.com pays me and I just hand the money over to Woodford Reserve.

For more information: Looking for Halloween fun? Danger Run starts on Sept. 25.
